Chapter 169: The Jiang family is destroyed
"Who's that man?" Nan Jingpei looked at her fiercely: "If you confess honestly, I may be able to treat you lightly." ”
Xu Chongyi seemed to be entangled for a while, and then looked at Su Zhaoyi sideways, her face was blue and white for a while.
Su Zhaoyi sneered: "Your Majesty, don't you understand this?" Whoever hates Concubine Chen the most in this palace is the real murderer who killed the child. ”
Nan Jingpei already knew that there was nothing to interrogate about this matter, but she just asked Xu Chongyi to say it herself, and signed it as evidence in court.
Xu Chongyi is not a powerful character, at best he is a chess piece that is used by others, relying on his own backing, so he is bold. But she didn't think about it carefully, can her backer really be reliable?
The emperor's eyes were fierce and gloomy, like a sharp blade with cold light, stabbing straight towards Xu Chongyi's heart, she was caught off guard, and her heart trembled with fright by this look.
"Your Majesty, the concubine just has a grudge against the Tian family, so she killed the child, the concubine thought, the Tian family messed up the harem, and her son staying in the palace could only disgrace the royal family, so the concubine had the courage to dispose of the child for the emperor. This is just a personal enmity between the concubine and the Tian family, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Chen. ”
"You're still hard-mouthed!" The Emperor roared in a sudden rage.
His roar scared the baby in the room into crying, Shen Yunzhen frowned slightly, and asked Liu Eryue to take the child out and coax him.
Nan Jingpei pointed at Xu Chongyi hatefully: "If it's just a personal vendetta, how could you go to Concubine Chen's palace and deliberately say those bastard words to stimulate her, you saw that she was a month old and weak, so you came up with this poisonous plan!" You want to see her dead and dead, and you want me to lose my love, don't you? ”
Shen Yunzhen looked at Xu Chongyi silently and didn't say a word.
She wasn't afraid of Xu Chongyi's stimulation, she had even seen the baby's corpse, would she still be afraid of her words?
In fact, since a few days ago, she felt a sore lower abdomen and was exhausted, and she knew that she might be born prematurely, but she didn't deliberately publicize it.
But Xu Chongyi had bad intentions, abused and killed babies, and stimulated her with words. Since Xu Chongyi didn't have a good heart, then this premature birth can only be counted on her head.
It's still right to say that Dongdong is right, people, you must not have bad intentions, do bad things, not at all.
Xu Chongyi was silent for a long time, unable to say a word.
Su Zhaoyi said coldly again: "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, Xu Chongyi is just dying and deliberately pulling people into the water." The emperor doesn't have to pay attention to her, just execute her alone. As for the Xu family, although they may not know, they have also committed the mistake of teaching without a way after all, it is better to vacate the incumbents of the Xu family, and those with titles will be demoted by three levels in a row. In this way, it can be regarded as seeking justice for Concubine Chen's mother and son. ”
The emperor glanced at Su Zhaoyi and nodded: "Xu, if you insist on refusing to confess the mastermind, I will have to follow Su Zhaoyi's method." ”
Xu Chongyi's heart suddenly cooled, why did she let her take responsibility for the things she planned with Concubine Xian in the end?
There is such a disturbance in this palace, how can Concubine Xian not know that she is not here now, is she trying to hide and not take responsibility?
Nan Jingpei sneered lightly: "Su Zhaoyi, you act as an agent for the affairs of the Sixth Palace, how to deal with the Xu family, you can do it." ”
Su Zhaoyi lowered her eyes slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Chongyi falsely passed on the holy decree to deceive the monarch, and murdered Concubine Chen and the prince, but for the sake of her serving the emperor, she must leave some dignity, and the concubine means that she will be given a three-foot white silk, so that she can leave a whole corpse." ”
Nan Jingpei nodded and said, "In that case, you can go with Donglai." ”
Su Zhaoyi said, waved his hand at Donglai, and Donglai randomly beckoned a few eunuchs to come over, and dragged Xu Chongyi out with one left and one right. Xu Chongyi was afraid of death, struggling and refusing to leave.
Donglai said in a low voice: "Niangniang, don't struggle, you have done everything that harms people's lives, are you still afraid of this three-foot white silk?" ”
The smooth blue brick floor was dragged out with two long twisted white marks.
The person had been dragged to the door, and Xu Chongyi shouted with all his might: "It's Concubine Jiang Xian, it's Concubine Xian who instructed her concubine to murder Concubine Chen!" ”
She was then dragged back, her clothes ripped out of shape, and her sideburns were torn off and hung in a messy bun.
She was already scared half to death, kneeling in front of the emperor and kowtowing like pounding garlic.
Nan Jingpei snorted lightly: "Come to the east, let her sign and draw!" ”
Although Concubine Xian shrunk in the Zhaotai Palace and saw no one, her mind was not in the Lantai Palace all the time, and Xu Chongyi had just drawn the charge here, and she couldn't sit still immediately. Hurriedly asked Ruixiang to dress her up and prepare to go to the Lantai Palace.
But it was still late, and as soon as she stepped out of the dormitory, she was blocked back by the internal guards.
Only then did she realize that the entire Zhaotai Palace had been firmly controlled by the internal guards, and all the palace maids and eunuchs had disappeared, and all of them were imprisoned in an empty room by the guards.
"What are you doing here, this palace is still the emperor's virtuous concubine, you are so bold, you even dare to arrest the people in this palace!"
She said that, but saw Donglai shaking the dust in his hand, and walked lightly to the cut.
He bowed a little arrogantly: "Concubine Xian, the slave has asked you to say goodbye." ”
"From the east?" Concubine Xian pointed at him: "What about the emperor?" Why do you want to keep this shrine closed? ”
Donglai smiled lightly: "Because of what, Niangniang herself knows best." ”
Concubine Xian was negligent and choked by him.
"This palace wants to see the emperor." She said indignantly.
Donglai sneered: "Coincidentally, the emperor also wants to see you." ”
She was anxious: "Then why don't you take the palace to see the emperor?" ”
Donglai pursed his lips and blocked it with one hand: "Don't worry, there is still one thing to do before that." ”
He hooked his hand, and several strong mothers-in-law rushed up, holding Concubine Xian and Ruixiang one by one, and dragged them into the house without looking back, regardless of their willingness.
Concubine Xian couldn't screw it, and for a moment they had been firmly pressed to the chair. She couldn't stand up, so she could only stare at Donglai fiercely: "What are you doing here, this palace still has the emperor's flesh and blood in its belly, aren't you afraid of hurting the dragon seed?" ”
Donglai proudly raised his face and tilted his head at the two mothers-in-law, they understood, and then pressed Ruixiang aside to control.
"That's what the minions are here for." He bowed down slightly, facing Concubine Xian's face.
This posture is a bit rude, but Concubine Xian can't take care of these things at this time.
"What do you mean by that?" She struggled, but the two mothers-in-law just refused to let go, and her arms hurt as if they were broken.
Donglai turned to the side, revealing a mother-in-law with a bowl, who was black like a strong man with rough hands and big feet. When she smiled, the muscles on her face were stiff and tense, and she looked very hideous.
She was stunned, and her heart was beating in panic.
"What are you doing!" She twisted her body in fear: "The belly of this palace is the emperor's flesh and bones, if you hurt the emperor's flesh and bones, the emperor will not let you go!" ”
But she also knew that it would be useless for her to shout like this, Donglai was the emperor's most trusted eunuch, if the emperor hadn't ordered him to come, who would have been able to move him?
The bowl of medicine was already cold, and it was as bitter as a yellow lotus in her mouth, and she writhed as hard as she could, but she was grabbed by someone's jaw, and the medicine juice was still unscrupulously dripping into her throat.
A bowl of medicine was poured into her stomach, she knew that it would not help, and as soon as the mother-in-law let go of her hand, she threw herself to the ground, desperately clasping her throat, trying to spit out the medicine. But it's easy to swallow, but it's hard to spit out, her straight throat hurts, and the root of her tongue hurts, but she can't spit out half of it.
Tears fell on the soft wool carpet in large pieces, making the patterns on the felt more and more vivid.
"Why!" She let out a mournful wail and fell to the ground with a dying breath.
"Yesterday, the messenger of the Tieli King secretly met with Jiang Taishi, and the two of them made a plan to cooperate with the outside and the outside, and were captured by the Praetorian Guards on the spot, and everyone was stolen, this is one. Concubine Xian Niangniang instructed Xu Chongyi to assassinate Concubine Chen's Niangniang to have a difficult birth and endanger the prince, this is the second. King Xin rebelled, and the second lady of the Jiang family has been traveling between the Jiang family and King Xin, acting as a messenger, this is the third. The emperor especially favored the Jiang family, but Jiang Taishi took the assassin to poison the emperor by falling silver, which is four. ”
Donglai proudly walked in front of Concubine Xian and said: "The Jiang family has been a minister for several generations, if there is no reason to be famous, I am afraid that it will not be able to kill, these four articles, one is an external enemy, the son is a harem, the third is a spy, and the fourth is a murderer." Yesterday, the emperor had already issued an order to behead all the people who participated in the rebellion of King Xin. When Niangniang entered the city yesterday, didn't she see the people running towards the vegetable market in a hurry? ”
A tearing pain spread up to her lower abdomen, hurting to her heart, so painful that she could barely speak, and fell to the ground gasping for breath. Blood gradually soaked the bottom of her skirt and spread out like a bright red cloud.
"Impossible, impossible!" She shouted hysterically.
"The emperor wanted to keep Niangniang's life, but unfortunately Niangniang herself was not kind and committed the great crime of murdering the prince." Donglai slowly squatted down and stared at her: "This is what it feels like to harm others and end up harming yourself, is it comfortable?" ”
There was no light in Concubine Xian's eyes, she clutched her stomach and shrunk into a ball, waving one hand in the air in a panic, as if trying to grab the last bit of her child's soul, but she didn't catch anything, and fell heavily to the ground.
She pushed Donglai's shoes: "Please, save my child, please." ”
Donglai let out a long sigh: "You are a member of the Jiang family, since the emperor has destroyed the Jiang family, it is impossible to allow a child with the blood of the Jiang family to be born." This medicine is very powerful, it can flow clean without more than half a pillar of incense, and no one can save you. ”
"Kid, kid!" She shouted in despair: "Nan Jingpei, is this your true heart?" ”
Donglai stood up, with a smile like a fan on his face: "Niangniang is a smart person, she should know the truth of giving back to others in the way of others." Your father said to the emperor that he would be loyal, didn't he also plot against the emperor and kill the king? You keep saying that you are sincere to the emperor, don't you also conspire to calculate the emperor's flesh and blood? As long as you are allowed to deceive the emperor, don't you allow the emperor to turn your hand back and return the favor? ”
